I used a .357 Mag lever gun one year to shoot a 6 pointer. It was a hot 164 gr hunting load with a hollow point. Shot and it fell right over. I celebrated for 1 second then it got up and ran like hell. Swore a little under my breath, got down and looked for blood. Not one drop at all but fortunately it didn't go far and did a half circle behind some thick little white pine trees in the marsh. Gutting it showed the lungs were jello and dumped all it's energy in the deer without being a pass through. I put the gun away as I like a complete pass through and the 20" barrel should have given max velocity/energy. Not a big fan of hollow points on larger game also.
